Techs are solid and composition is good too, would have preferred lower POV.

Me too! :slight_smile:
But as you likely know, one is not allowed to leave the safari vehicles that are sometimes quite high.

Very cute, Sandy! I like the fact that the Mum’s trunk is in the picture, as it shows how close together they always remain. I wonder about the 1/2500s? A quarter of that would probably have been enough and that would have meant a much lower ISO. Although the IQ of the photo shown is very good. I hope you enjoyed Etosha, it’s a beautiful place! :star_struck:

Hi Ingrid- I’m always set for sudden flying birds, since a higher ISO/noise is easily dealt with. Thanks for the kind comments!
